Hi everyone, this is probably mostly ranting from my side but then again is it just me or are "many" people getting more and more stupid each year ?
When I was a child with like 8 years I still thougth "wow those adults are all so intelligent" now I know that most people no matter what age are just stupid and can't do anything on their own, especially "older" people tend to know so much less then kids and don't even know how they can get the needed informations. Saying "older" doesn't mean 60+ but I see many people in their 40+ who don't even know how to use google oO
Actually I am working as an IT Supporter 1st and 2nd level (mostly 2nd and even partially 3er as in the company I work for I am doing everything a little bit as long as I can somehow manage to find out how) and damn people are not even able to ask for help properly, not even talking about saying please and thanks or anything.
As an example we have maybe 6 cruxial programms and many many minor ones and I get mails like "the programm is not working please help" .... yeah which program ?
Or stuff like "my folder is gone please get it back again" ... no information about former location, name or how long its gone nothing.
Also best ones are like you tell them "do ..." then they answer "no that won't work so I won't try it" .... then you connect to their PC do exactly what you asked them to do and it works like it should.
In my former Company I even had people asking me thinkgs like "there is a power cord going from my computer to the wallplug but its not plugged in, do I need to plug it in to make my computer work again?" ... like yeah, I guess a Computer needs power.
I also have at least one good friends who asks me EVERYTHING doesn't even need to be related to my job or anything, he even asked me a few times if I could tell him stuff how to improve his own work which is something completely different from what I am doing and stuff I have never done, still as always uncle google helps with this stuff. Or my GF who has a Masters Degree in Economics and Languages, she still asks me to translate some english texts for her sometimes and I also am the one repairing the washing mashine building the shelves and whatever as she can't even read the instructions ....
Somehow I wonder how so many people can survive withouth someone telling them to breath
